Advances in Zosteric Acid: Antifouling Properties and Green Biosynthesis Toward Food Safety Applications.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Zosteric acid (ZA) is a marine-derived phenolic sulfate with great application potential as a natural antifouling agent in food safety. This review provides a comprehensive overview of ZA, focusing on its physio-chemical properties, structure-function relationships, and antifouling mechanisms, with particular emphasis on its relevance to controlling biofilms associated with food spoilage and foodborne contamination. It further discusses the major production strategies for ZA, including natural extraction, chemical synthesis, enzymatic synthesis, and microbial biosynthesis. Key challenges related to production efficiency, process scalability, and regulatory compliance are critically analyzed. Finally, future perspectives are proposed for the development and application of ZA in food processing, packaging, and hygiene control, with emphasis on integrating sustainable biosynthesis with practical implementation in food-related environments. This review aims to provide valuable insights that support the development of natural, safe, and sustainable antifouling strategies to enhance food safety and quality.
